Evolution My ToE

YoursTrue

Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)
I just sense it was around that time. For one thing I don’t believe God could have made someone like me in an embryo stage. He had to make me older. Also I believe God was smart and chose a bit of an older age to avoid any things like neonatal death, SIDS and Sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC)


People talk about abiogenesis. lol yeah right.
Aw...sweet, Jimmy. :)

Actually, I just came up with that death stuff as we were texting. Now that I think about it, I don’t think that has any truth to it.

Maybe though. I think God knows more about this particular question than I do.

Cute anyway
One thing I do know is that this life exists because of me. The only way I can answer that is I know in a way that I’m that person in the way that others know they’re not. I would happily and easily accept being a regular man. I wouldn’t have no problem with it. It’s definitely not about ego that’s for sure. Furthermore, do you really think God would create somebody like me and not give him the wisdom to know who he was? I don’t think so! It’s pretty cool that people don’t believe me. I knew they wouldn’t, that’s why I told everybody here. I wouldn’t want people to believe me for obvious security reasons. It’s kind of funny actually.

I’m not the kind of man to believe something as “wacky” as this if it weren’t true. Trust me. I’m far too intelligent for that ****
When ya know, ya know!

I don’t believe in religious stories. I don’t believe in scientific explanations.
What I do know is real life stories.

Uh huh like you believe what the Pope says about things?

I have no idea what post you think you are responding to, because the one you replied to said nothing like that.
Comprehension issues?

While the Pope may not call it magic in reference to miracles, and he may also not call Jesus birth to a virgin 'myth,' it sure is cognitive dissonance to some to say evolution is true in all its aspects but Jesus entered a virgin's womb by...uh...magic??
I couldn't care less what the pope calls those things.

There is a simpler explanation for a young unmarried woman's becoming pregnant than either magic or miracles. Most people, even most Christians, would accept this simpler explanation if it happened to a woman they knew. It is only when we read the story in an old book that we are willing to believe that the pregnancy happened miraculously.

As we both know, no one of the human species has seen fish evolve to anything more than...fish. or better put, finches evolving to anything other than finches. Have a good day.
Do you accept that modern herrings, cod, halibut, swordfish, catfish, tuna, sunfish, etc. evolved from the very different species of fish that lived during the Devonian period, or do you think that they were separately created?

How did they figure out the millions of years with certainty was the age of the preserved bug fossil?

Unfortunately you didn't tell us what bug fossil you are talking about. If you could give us a link, I might be able to find out something about it.
I'd love to hear more about that testing, what they tested and how they figured that it evolved.
They probably determined the bug's stratigraphic age (what period, epoch and age it belonged to) from the index fossils that occurred in the same rock outcrop. They would then have found the chronological age from the geological time scale that has been determined from radiometric dating of igneous rocks found in rocks of the same age. There are plenty of books and websites about radiometric dating and the geological time scale. You could start with the Wikipedia articles on these two topics (in bold) and the references therein. I don't know anything about the evolution of the bug.

Explain the method since you're the believer. I am not saying they were "separately created." So since you may not believe that they were "separately created," perhaps you'd like to go into the dates and transference of properties with each different species stemming from that one item. Anyway, have a nice day and I have lots of things to do besides bicker over these things. But I have enjoyed the conversations...:)
